MLB DFS: Optimal FanDuel, DraftKings picks, player pool, advice for May 4, 2023

Before setting your MLB DFS lineups on daily Fantasy sites like DraftKings and FanDuel on Thursday, May 4, you NEED to see the top MLB DFS picks from Mike McClure. McClure is a daily Fantasy pro with nearly $2 million in career winnings. 

When it comes to MLB, McClure is at his best. Recognized in the book "Fantasy Football (and Baseball) for Smart People: How to Turn Your Hobby into a Fortune," McClure's proprietary MLB DFS projection model simulates each game 10,000 times, taking factors such as matchups and recent results into account. This allows him to find the best values on every site.

On Tuesday, McClure highlighted Blue Jays C/OF Daulton Varsho as one of his top DFS picks. The result: Varsho went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI, returning 23 points on DraftKings and 31.7 points on FanDuel. Anybody who included him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.

One of McClure's top MLB DFS picks for Thursday is Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich ($5,400 on DraftKings and $3,600 on FanDuel). McClure's MLB DFS strategy also includes stacking Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez ($5,000 on DraftKings and $3,700 on FanDuel). Tellez is on a six-game hitting streak and has three home runs over 10 games since April 21. The 28-year-old first baseman has an .896 OPS this season, well above the league average of .727 this season and between his value and recent consistency, Tellez provides value at this price when filling out lineups.

McClure is also targeting a player who is set to EXPLODE for huge numbers on Thursday! The stars are aligning for him to return tournament-winning value, and he comes at a price that won't break the bank. This pick could be the difference between cashing in big or going home with nothing!
